It seems that Barack Obama has shattered the records for monthly donations. He has raised more this month than any other presidential nominee in history, raising $66 million, and adding 500,000 donors to his lists. This sudden boost is blamed on McCain's VP choice Sarah Palin. It has supposedly ignited the democratic party in to donating money to "their man." But, to me it just seems that they're scared, and the only thing they can do is to donate money.
